Should I get.. a Helios Clone RDA, or the new Aspire Nautilus

[Pur3Rush]

I know, RDA vs. Clearo tank thingy,,

but. I've been vaping a while. Never had a good dripper. While I love to drip, I like the convenience of the Aspire line. I have the vivi glassomizers currently. I've started to get more heavy into building coils and rebuilding the gabizzilion kanger heads I have, with semi ok success. The space is just so small.

Can someone let me know their thoughts, what you think I should get. If anyone has ideas on coil building tutorials or places that are a one stop shop for rebuildables and supplies I would be grateful. I would have already purchased the helios if kidney puncher had the dang things in stock.

I have a couple toddlers running around so I can't spend time researching like I normally do. Plus I'm a bit lazy today.

Anyway, thanks for your help and pointing me to the right resources.
P.s - Anybody know if you can rebuild the Nautilus heads

. Those things are super expensive. I could be 50ft of kanthal for the price of one head.

Stay calm & vape strong

I don't see why you couldn't do both. That being said. I just picked up a Nautilus. I was at one of our local shops and they were telling me they just got in the Nautilus and that they think it's the best clearo to date. Me already being a fan of the aspire bdc heads thought I'd go ahead and give it a try. I just got back from there probably an hour ago so I haven't had a whole lot of time vaping it but so far I'd say i agree. It is the best clearomizer I've ever vaped on. The airflow adjustment is very easy to use. It clicks in place so you know it's not going to move on you. At the smallest setting which I believe is .8 mm but I'm not 100% on that, it's something under 1 mm, I'm getting great flavor. At the largest setting you still get really nice flavor production but you also get a ton of vapor. The design of the shaft in the center is similar to a Kayfun style where it's larger on the bottom up to a small section which I think may help with flavor a bit too. It's 22mm so it sits nice and flush on 22mm mods. I haven't gotten any dry hits or flooding yet. It holds 5ml of juice. The only downside I can see is that the top edge of the tank glass is exposed so it will most likely break if you drop it on any hard surface. I guess I'll just have to be extra careful not to drop it or keep it on my ProVari in a holster. Anyways. It's been vaping pretty darn good. A dripper on the other hand is a great vape as well. You don't have to worry about cracking a tank so that's a plus. You can rebuild coils for penny's. But, like I said earlier. Why not do both? There's a lot of times you won't have time to meddle with a dripper so what do you plan on doing at those times?

Hmmm, lots to think about. You definitely made some good points. I know the price is a bit high, but "somewhat" warranted for what you get. I think I would be willing to pull the trigger on the nautilus sooner, if I knew for sure you could rebuild the heads.

 

[VaporDragon]

According to this gentleman you can. I couldn't tell you until I get a chance to look at one.

 

[VaporDragon]

Well... if you appreciate Rip Tripper's opinion

the new Aspire Nautilus ... is the best clearomizer made to date...

About the only real 2 cons he had were the price... and something he wasn't aware of having
to do with not being able to rebuild the coils yet...

Rip is presently... unaware of the fact that
you can remove the contact pin an rubber grommet from the bottom of the head
and then using snips or small pliers ... you can pull the small metal chamber the coils are in
out from the bottom of head and recoil as you please...

 

[Pur3Rush]

Excellent, excellent (cue evil laugh)

thanks for the info... Huge Nautilus here I come.. Muuahahaahahaaaa

 

[Pur3Rush]

Rips videos are always interesting, and extremely informing. . He's an "excitable' fellow.

This forum is terrible for my checking account lol just got a Provari and now I want a better topper than my aspire bdc and pt2 because I have to back them off to allow for airflow, that being said probably gonna pull the trigger on the nautilus, saw replacement heads for around 17 bucks from gotvapes but their tanks are sold out

 

[Pur3Rush]

OK, random new questions: Aspire Nautilus vs. RTA like Aqua, Squape etc. etc. ?? Any ideas?

Just curious, what VG/PG mixture are you using? I vape 50/50. I wouldn't mind getting one of these down the road.

if you're already comfortable rebuilding, get the kayfun lite or any of its variations (clones as well)

built like a tank and replacement parts are cheap and plentiful

takes 10-15 minutes to build, wick, screw together, fill, and vape

the aqua by UVO is wayyyyyyyy better if you can rebuild !!!

1 adjustable juice flow !
2 adjustable air flow !
3 DUAL WICK CAPABILITY !
4 large tank !

where have you ever seen a rebuildable that has built in adjustable air AND juice flow ! dont say the fogger ether lol i own one and trust me the center post is not meant to be adjusted even though you can unscrew it to adjust it, its still not meant to be and its a big PITA !

101vapors has the clone for like 40$ or something and its as good as the origional ! a real 1:1 if i am not mistaken

the nautilus is like a sports car..... its expencive but fun to drive, its also expencive to repair ! but if you can afford it why not ? right ? its the long term cost of the coils that got me not to buy it, they are expencive and they are dual coil wich i am not a fan of, the aqua is dual coil but its easy to build a single and stuff the other wick holes with the ends of a quad wick of some silicon rubber spacers.

 

[TrashCat]

What are you talking about? I have the Aqua... How is it adjustable juice flow?... You know what... I actually don't understand... WHAT is adjustable juice flow?

As well, the tank is pretty small for a dual coil... About 2-2.5ml... Which goes really fast in a dual coil build.

I got mine from 101 as you suggest... It's $29... It is a great little contender... I use it and my Kayfun clones mostly.

Looks like he got it figured out.
